Featuring: Little_Em_Cosplays
As cosplay became widely known around the globe, I've seen a ton of international cosplayers who have done an amazing job on their costumes and character portrayal. Some of them only recently joined but already achieved a bunch of great cosplays in the community.
One of my favorite things is getting to know a person even more and look deeper into their perspective. Given the chance to interview with someone involved in the hobby makes it even more compelling.
Emma, or mostly known as @little_em_cosplays on instagram, started cosplaying way back in 2014. Having first hand experience to seeing cosplayers at a convention, she instantly fell in love with it and she even bought her first cosplay that very same weekend.
Starting off with her Chihiro cosplay from Studio Ghibli's Spirited Away, you cannot deny her love for this movie as well as her eagerness to become the character. This experience made her feel confident, hence why she decided to pursue with creating more cosplays from then on.
Just like most people, Emma expressed her biggest pet peeve in the community as those who shame others for how they look and how their costumes were made. Gracefully believing that everyone should never drag someone down, and treat others like a family.
Emma hopes to evolve her craft and use it to earn a living while doing what she loves. Making it more than a hobby, she wants it to also be something that could sustain her needs. Who doesn't want to get paid while being creative and happy, right?
We sneaked a question to her asking her thoughts about the adaptation of Batgirl (which was supposed to be Batwoman) series, saying "Technically that's Batwoman, and I honestly didn't like the series. I think it was a bit too forced." With only 3.5/10 rating on IMDB and 79% on Rotten Tomatoes, well, looks like the interwebs agreed with her on that. (Also, we're sorry for the Batgirl-Batwoman mistake! Please forgive us! (〒﹏〒)
"For anyone that would like to start cosplaying, start with a character you truly love, and don't let ANYONE discourage you from achieving it. To those already in the community, I want to thank you for your continuous support."
